Good experience
I was in Helsinki for 2 nights with my girlfriend and we chose this hotel as it had good rating. The staff was very friendly, room clean, good bathroom and bed. Very quiet, no noise at all. Regular breakfast. The location is amazing, very close to the city center (~12min walk) and with bus/light rail stops nearby. We liked our stay and would probably return in the future.

Very pleased with the hotel and service. The b da were nice and soft.
But the extra sleeping-sofa in the family room was absolutely terrible to sleep on, worst sleeping-sofa ever.

Central hotel
Clean hotel near the water and easy to walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Breakfast buffet was good with both hot and cold choices. Room was typical small European size but comfortable.

Beautiful hotel in an ideal location for exploring Helsinki. Staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Food, both breakfast and dinner, was delicious. We found the rooms too hot, but better than than too cold when visiting in the winter. We would definitely stay again.

Well located hotel.
Well located hotel, within 5 minutes walk of the Helsinki attractions, near the ferry port and Upsala Cathedral. Despite being full, the check-in and service was good. Good selection of continental and cooked breakfasts.

A nice hotel very nicely located with a walking distance from city center or the tram-station. The area, Katajanokka where the hotel is located has alot of fun and good dining and is beautiful to walk around. The hotel rooms could use a bit of renovation, there is some small things that needs upgrade. Breakfast was okay, it was alot of people wich is fine, but we waited quite a bit for things that run out.
